Snow blocking Intercooler
Just wondering if this causes any problems, there was a huge snowstorm last night and I drove home. Saw that there was packed snow behind the grill, so its impossible to get out...and Im also worried it can cause some samage if its bloked
I am fairly new to the Evo world so I do not know these little details

It was cool driving last night eh?
When I arrived home I saw that I had the same issue, snow packed hard up front.
I found some roads that had no tracks and the snow was 1 foot deep at times- very cool!
More snow this week. I think I will organize a track day next Sunday.

If the snow was directly on the intercooler, you'll be fine and it will just melt off when it gets hot. If there is a space between the snow and the intercooler then you are getting less airflow. With temps cold enough to produce snow, I don't think it would be too big of an issue.

HAHA, this post just reminded me of when I had my STi. At the race track we put a huge armful of ice cubes on our top mount intercooler. By the time the car made 1 lap it must have evaporated.
Snow in front of the evo intercooler can only prevent air from passing thru. It'll melt whatever is close to the intercooler but you might have some issues if there is no moving air going thru the intercooler at all which would require a tight seal of snow which i doubt can happen.

The hood scoop can still get blocked off. I think there was one WRC rally where the subaru car had to stop so that they could clear out the wet leaves in the scoop because the car was overheating.
